I wish I could talk to Sears, what they need to do right now is get rid of their clothing department, or whichever makes the least money, and put in a 5 star celebrity chef restaurant right in the middle of their stores. They should have shows and events and kids activities there. People are not going to leave the house to go shopping but they need to eat and like doing things.
Cabela's has free fishing for kids inside the store, then their parents buy shit because they are there.
That and Sears needs a fucking website that actually works instead of the train wreck they have now.
The tragedy of it all is that Sears is owned by K-Mart who got their money through bankruptcy. There really is no "Sears" any more. I'm sure they know their clothing lines stink because Sears suppliers were demanding cash and were replaced by K-Mart suppliers.
You could tell it was coming six years ago when they removed the "Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back" from above their doors.
They do not want to survive and are in process of selling assets to improve their upcoming bankruptcy position.
Sears has been shitting the bed forever. I would trace it back to at least the 90s when they cancelled the sears catalog instead of putting that fucker online, they could be Amazon right now, they could be what they once were, but instead soon they will be gone. Macy's too, the property they own is worth more than the money they make from their stores.
Yup, Craftsman tools and Whirlpool appliances will simply be sold elsewhere and be shadows of their former selves. The best thing about sears was the lifetime guarantee hand tools that you could break as much as you wanted and get new ones.
Yeah, even the Craftsman guarantee is very squishy since it's not ALL Craftsman tools now. They are a lost cause, just wasting mall space.
Well they would be, if anyone wanted mall space.
now, THAT is funny!
